Conigliaro was wearing a helmet, but without an ear flap. Ear flaps started to become popular after that, and the AL started requiring the wearing of a helmet soon after. Tony C had a heart attack or stroke while sitting in airport traffic some years after he retired, and ended up paralyzed for the rest of his life. He died at 45.

it hit his cheek and eye so the flap wouldn’t have helped much beyond his jaw not being unhinged…it was good and bad as a little in either direction and he would have been killed

The "yips" is more pressure then anything. It's REALLY common in fighting. People can be killers in the gym. Look like world champions, but as soon as they get in the octagon they choke. Some people just can't handle the pressure of the bright lights, crowd, TV cameras.

[@shaunnichols1743]

IIRC Mike Matheny had his playing career ended by concussions. Posey isn't the best example as hip and ankle problems were the main factor in his retirement, not concussions. With TJ surgery the recovery rate goes way down if you get it multiple times. Brian Wilson was pretty much done after his second surgery.

@austin.draude you just might be right there with that thought... he had the talent to justify making him ace at the time but he was just so young.
